Ministry is often treated as a title, but it is meant to be an act of service. Continuing the theme of devotion, this episode features Josh Rowand, a man with extensive experience in ministry. Once serving for himself while hiding a life of sin, he now knows that ministry involves much more than image and being busy – it’s about helping others in humility, sincerity, and a faith that is actively lived out rather than merely spoken.

At the Altar of Sexual Idolatry (Book) By Steve Gallagher
Join us for a special bonus segment where Steve Gallagher teaches on Revelation 4 & 5. We’ll examine John’s vision of Heaven, where seeing the Lord on His throne offers profound comfort—proving God is fully in control before the coming persecution and devastating judgments.
We also explore how God is celebrated as Creator, affirming His authority and right to accomplish His will. Don't miss this essential teaching on divine sovereignty.
In Song of Solomon 1:4, the bride says to the bridegroom, "Draw me after you and let us run together." What a picture of sincere desire for the Lord! But let's be honest. For many regular church attendees in the United States, it's easy to SAY they love the Lord like that, but their lives outside of the church speak something different.
Devotion to the Lord is CRITICAL for victory over sin for today, and for the dark days ahead. Steve and Kathy Gallagher discuss this and more on this week's episode.

When His Secret Sin Breaks Your Heart (Book) By Kathy Gallagher
Who is the true focus of Revelation? In this bonus segment covering chapters 1-3, we explore the glorious vision of the risen Christ and His urgent message to His people. Steve Gallagher explains why the 7 letters from Jesus to the churches aren't just merely ancient history - all of them can be seen in the global church TODAY. Are we asleep like Sardis or enduring like Smyrna? These warnings are vital for believers in the last days. Listen now to hear what Jesus is saying to you.
Jesus said you can’t serve two masters, because you can only be truly devoted to one. The One all Christians should be devoted to is Christ.
But are we?
Why do so many Christian organizations exist to help Christians out of addictions? Perhaps it has to do with our devotion and who our hearts truly serve. In this week’s episode, Patrick Hudson delves into the seriousness of knowing what our hearts are truly fixed on and encourages us to pursue a life that is wholly devoted to God.

From the Chapel: Andrew was full of pride. He was enslaved to sexual sin yet saw himself as spiritually superior to those around him including those he was sinning against. But when he came to the Pure Life Ministries Residential Program, the Lord revealed the reality of his condition through the power of His Word and gave Andrew the beautiful gift of repentance and newness of life.
In the 40 years Pure Life Ministries has been counseling, we've never stopped supplying Biblical answers to those in sexual sin, to wives in their devastation, and to the sincere believer in their walk with the Lord.
In this episode, we answer some of our most common questions, as well as viewers’ concerns on their personal journey with God. Questions like:
• How can I know my husband has truly repented?
• Am I in a dry time because of hidden sin?
• How can I balance life's responsibilities and my relationship with God?
Joshua Broadhurst and Bernardo Arjona answer questions like these in this month's Q&A.

#656 - The Modern Face of Idolatry (Podcast) By Pure Life Ministries
Pure Life Ministries Residential Program
David prayed "Search me, O God, and know my heart." What a bold request! What would happen if you asked Him to search your heart? It may feel unsettling to think about—but it can change everything. Could there be hidden idols shaping your life without you realizing it?
On today’s podcast, we explore why this question matters and how it could transform your walk with Christ. Join us for an enlightening discussion you won’t want to miss.

The Ten Commandments: Reasonable Rules for Life (Book) By D.L. Moody
"The Revelation of Jesus Christ." From its very first verse, the final book of the Bible presents us with a profound question: Is this a message from Jesus about the future, or is it an unveiling of Jesus Himself?
Revelation is certainly filled with deep mysteries and complex symbolism, but it is not meant to be ignored. It is a book of awe and urgency that every believer is called to read, hear, and heed.
Discover the blessing promised to those who embrace this prophecy as we venture through the book of Revelation with Steve Gallagher in this series of interviews from our archives.
We live in a universe of cause and effect. As Galatians 6 warns, "Whatever a man sows, this he will also reap."
So what happens when someone continually sows to idols instead of God? This episode, we dig into the patterns of a self-serving life, expose the spiritual dangers, and reveal the inevitable consequences that follow.

From the Chapel: It is impossible to serve two masters, for we will love one and hate the other. We cannot hate the world in our flesh. We must see how beautiful Jesus is if we are to turn away from sin.

It's an amazing thing when the person who sees our sins and flaws most clearly is also completely devoted to seeing us walk in victory. In Ep. 05 of our series, "On the Same Team," we'll talk with PLM graduates Bob and Lori about one of the big focuses in their marriage: building each other up in love.

What role has "mercy" played in your strategy while battling sexual sin? For many believers, it only goes beyond God's gracious canceling of their sin. But mercy is so much more than that! It's a force to be reckoned with and has served as the linchpin for many Pure Life grads in their life-long freedom from addiction.
In this episode, Biblical counselor, Regan Bowman, opens our eyes to the transforming power of God's everlasting mercy.

Timeless Truths: Walking through the aftermath of our sin can easily lead us into self-pity. It can also lead us to ignore lessons God is trying to teach us. But if we walk through consequences by putting our trust in the Lord and seeking to learn the lessons He has for us, we will find a tremendous amount of good can come out of them.
In this interview from the archives, Austin Kropf joins us to share some of the attitudes we should have if we are to let the Lord have His way and accomplish His will in our lives while going through the effects of sin.
When you look at your daily choices, what do they reveal about your true devotion? If someone observed your life for a period of time, what would they say defined you? Our devotions aren't just what we say we value. They're revealed in how we live.
In episode 4 of our "Wholly Devoted Disciples" series, we unpack the vital topic of devotion and challenge ourselves to live fully for Jesus.

The Old Testament is full of imagery of God's holiness. The consecration of the priests and vessels for the temple powerfully illustrate how we must reflect that holiness ourselves. But a lot of Christians today seem to think holy and consecrated lifestyles are just for those who lived during the "first big section of the Bible."
But the truth is, they really do apply to our lives today, and are deeply connected to victory over sexual sin.

The heart of our podcast has been and always will be to help people grapple with the real truths of Christianity and apply them to their lives. That's not always comfortable, and it's not always what we hear in the Christian culture of our day, but it is the truth that sets men free—and keeps them free!
Director of Ministry Outreach, Patrick Hudson, steps in front of the camera to share a brief word about how we plan to accomplish this moving in to 2026!

When a Christian learns what the Lord offers His followers through His grace and their faith, they can live a truly different life.
Now grace and faith are two of the most foundational concepts in Christianity. Many may think that means they don’t really need to hear any more about them in order to win the battle against sexual sin. But the truth is that, far too often, these crucial components of Christianity are terribly misunderstood.
That’s partly why so many Christians are stuck in sin.

Devotion. What do you think of when you hear that word? Maybe it conjures up a sense of loyalty, of someone or something always being there—dedication.
Our latest series is called, “Wholly Devoted Disciples” where we will touch on different aspects of what it means to be a wholly devoted disciple of Jesus and why those aspects are vital to winning the battle against sexual sin.
In this first episode, Steve Gallagher discusses where devoted discipleship begins: repentance.
